RN Pheasants are pretty much history in the Grants Pass part of the Rogue
Valley. I managed to find a rooster last year, but if this fellow is dead, he
might be the end of them. GP CBC data tells the story. Will keep looking for
my 2016 Jo Co list, but not hopeful. Pheasants have been replaced by the
Turkey here.

Thinking about the miscellaneous chickens of e Oregon reminds me that the
status of Ring-necked Pheasant in western Oregon has changed a lot in the past
25 years. I’d be interested to hear from observers in various parts of w.
Oregon regarding whether there are ANY self-sustaining populations of pheasant
west of the Cascades.
On Sunday I will be birding Baskett and Ankeny with Matthew Schneider so I
can seek my own resplendent resident pleasant pheasants.
